Forza 4

Can you make them look rusty? I think it'd be awesome to have rust and corrosion on a car.

You mean, like this?


Not my design, btw. This requires some effort and more artistic talent than I possess.

The March car pack isn't available yet, at least for me, although I did find a rusty Country Squire wagon when I did a search on "rusty".

[Purge]

I want to see a rusty Enzo.

[PeteRock]

The Griswold Family Truckster can really haul.  It's obviously powered by the inspirational dreams of Wally World.

[jztemple2]

The Wagon tuned to up E275, more power(!), better suspension, same weight . 'Ring time is 10:51. Maybe a little weight loss wouldn't hurt.

are these pictures that you guys have taken in game?,because they look pretty damn sweet...i gotta pick up this game

Yup, in game pics.

Finally the Country Squire upgraded with a Shelby engine, AWD and a supercharger to S700 with 866 hp . 'Ring time of nine minutes flat, and that was with three runs into the guard rails.

Sweet pics JZ! I really got to start playing this game again, I get to easily distracted by all the new hotness, however Forza is a game I would never trade in or sell.

Man - the ricetastic wheels on the truckster really offend me for some reason.

Better?

[jztemple2]

And finally the Corvair, upgraded to F200 with some tuning and more power. Sorry, had to take the bumpers off.

[gellar]

MUCH BETTER!

[PeteRock]

MUCH BETTER!

So much so that you can almost visualize inner city teens removing the hubcaps as Clark sits unsuspectingly while seeking directions from the nearby urban residents.

See where it says "Rib Tips"?  Well, fuck that.....you don't wanna go that way.

[Greggy_D]

Forza 4 needs a "Rib Tips" sign on one of the tracks.   

[PeteRock]

Forza 4 needs a "Rib Tips" sign on one of the tracks.   

But only where the track is closed off for the current course, as fuck that, you don't wanna go that way.

Someone also needs to get Temple on putting "Honky Lips" spray-painted on the right rear corner panel.

[jztemple2]

Final configuration of the Country Squire... 883 hp, geared to 175 mph, absolute terror from a standing start, corners like, well, "Looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow".



And a Mazda 2, upgraded to A600, RWD, etc...

Extra points for Douglas Adams quote.

[metallicorphan]

Update goes Live

Multiplayer lobbies fixed, level caps increased, cars rebalanced.

[jztemple2]

April Alpinestar Pack announced. For cruising the 'Ring you've got your 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible and hey, a 1985 Mazda RX-7. I owned a 1979 RX-7, so this might be the closest they come to actually having in Forza a car I've actually owned... unless of course they suddenly announce a 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis

May's Top Gear Car Pack(not James May)


560 points May 1st and is NOT part of the season Pass(which ended with the April pack)


video and more pics in the link

[wonderpug]

Can cars flip in this game?  I may have to get it just to see what racing a Smart Car is like.

It includes the AMC Pacer . Hmm, the Pacer, the Pinto... can the Vega be far behind? 

And don't forget the Porsche pack on May 22nd!

Oh you can most certainly flip a car. The issue is not if, it is how many times!

I have a video of Hark rolling his car on his favorite track, Maple Valley

That's embarrassing.  He must have raced that track over a thousand times.  Aren't you embarrassed, Hark?  That seems like something you should be embarrassed about.

[Harkonis]

nope, not even a little.  Was a Hummer on a tight turn at the end of a downhill section, was bound to happen.  I think I may have still beaten Kato that time, now THAT is embarrassing.

did this game brand new come with any online pass or DLC code?...i still need to pick this up

[jztemple2]

I can only speak to the VIP version, it came IIRC with DLC codes for bonus car packs and a couple of bonus tracks. There was no online code, you get MP access with the basic game. I also bought the Season Pass so I could get the six monthly car packs (ten cars each) cheaper than buying each pack separately. The last pack associated with the Season Pass was released the beginning of April. The Season Pass is still available should you wish to get all the older packs, but you can also get them separately.

If I'm wrong about the online pass, someone else please post, but I'm pretty sure I didn't have to enter a code for online access.

[metallicorphan]

looking on the marketplace,is there no new tracks DLC?,all i can see are car packs,while cool,i don't think i will be getting them(i'll download the free ones though )

Looking at the 2012 BMW M5 free download,370mb really?,for one car?....oh well not that bothered i have over 200gig on my HDD i will never fill up

[jztemple2]

Yeah, no new tracks has kind of irritated me too. I'm hoping that maybe they will release some in the summer. Meantime I just do things like driving the ' Ring backwards

[jztemple2]

Here you go, the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. A600 performance, 759hp, 3944lbs and a great open top convertible view of the 'Ring as you blow down the main straight at 180mph. Mind the corners!

[metallicorphan]

is that the same kind of car that the Batmobile is?(60s Batmobile)

[EngineNo9]

Nah, the 60's Batmobile was based on a Lincoln Futura, which was a concept car.

[jztemple2]

1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429. Of course it's tweaked a little bit. B500 PI, 425hp and a top speed geared to 159mph, which is just fast enough on the 'Ring to get you into a lot of trouble



On the brakes, hard, at the end of the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans:

[metallicorphan]

Wow!!...what the fuck is the point of only being able to make 30 second movies?


On another note,i do love the menu music,kinda like 80s Synthesizer stuff

[jztemple2]

We talked about flipping your own car... but sometimes the AI flips on their own:

[jztemple2]

The Apocalypse is near... Smart Cars on the Karussell.
